Spitfires Trade for Kingston's Jeff Braithwaite

January 7, 2012 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Windsor Spitfires News Release

Windsor Spitfires General Manager Warren Rychel announced today that the team has traded their 3rd round pick in the 2014 OHL Priority Draft, their 5th round pick in 2013 and their 15th round pick in 2013 to the Kingston Frontenacs in exchange for defenceman Jeff Braithwaite.

"This is a key addition for us in pursuit of a playoff spot with 25 games remaining," said Rychel. "Jeff has a wealth of experience and can play in all situations. This move also solidifies us with a quality overage D-man for the 12-13 seasons."

Braithwaite, the Peterborough Petes' 2008 second round pick, currently has 2 goals for 12 points in 31 games with Kingston this season and 11 goals for 63 points in 189 games in his OHL career.

Jeff will be in the Windsor lineup tomorrow afternoon against the Sudbury Wolves.
